Jailed Jacksonville man gets added charges of using a minor for child porn

A Jacksonville man in jail for child sexual-battery charges now has been indicted on four counts of using a minor to produce child pornography.

Charles Franklin Hudson Jr., 38, faces a mandatory-minimum of 15 years in prison if convicted, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said.

The Claremore Avenue home owner was arrested in January on three counts of sexually abusing a child younger than 12, jail records show. Thursday additional counts of using a child to engage in sexual performance for production of visual materials were added.

It occurred May 2011 through about June 2012 on at least four separate occasions, according to the indictment.
